Diving into an endless void with never ending clocks that float in every direction Ticking to time zones that no longer exist. Cascading upside down I rise into a world on a distorted path of the less traveled. I land on a solid platform of rocks and rubble. filled with no sense of security I walk towards a figure with a face of light projecting old memories onto a wall of painted pain. It’s filled with uncomplimentary colors devoid of all light. I float to the wall that was created on the tears of bad luck and I paint my yellow light down the wall in a single stroke. It ages instantly becoming duller but The yellow remains moving along with the other colors. I move my hand against the wall as I am pulled upwards and I can no longer touch it and it eventually vanishes away. I float higher looking up towards a light. it engulfs me, now it is all that surrounds me. Leaving my shadow with nowhere to land, so I caress them in my arms. I hear clicking and I close my eyes. "Have all the opportunities passed? Have all the paths ended?" I feel the warmth of everlasting sunshine on my skin and the sounds of calming winds and rustling leaves. I open my eyes to see a bountiful blue sky of puffy white clouds and rainbow rays of sunshine. with emerald green grass forming to the shape of my hands and with no sense of purpose, I smile.

Diving into an endless void with never ending clocks that float in every direction Ticking to time zones that no longer exist. Cascading upside down I rise into a world on a distorted path of the less traveled.

feeling so stuck in time. and in ways I don't mind being stuck. I smile knowing there will always be a beautiful sky above me and a soft wind blowing even if I'm not there to see it. Stuck. Am i writer? a poet? a singer? actor? content creator? am I all of these things or none of them? How do I begin? How can i be seen by the world but feel safe at the same time? How do I do anything when I feel like I know nothing.
